9/10: The American River delivered steady action for stripers, with a few small steelhead mixed in. Striper fishing is on point—swimbaits and jerk baits are working best for anglers covering water. If you’re targeting catfish or bigger stripers, soaking bait in the slower holes is your best bet.
Weather was mild, making it easy to explore different spots. For boaters, mobility is key—if you’re not finding fish in 15 minutes, move to the next deep channel or structure. A great day for honing tactics and landing quality catches!
